Sounds good to me. I'm an old fart and prefer what I like to watch delivered to me on the DVR. I can skip the commercials with ease, and I don't have to hunt for it on the web. I don't have a notsosmart phone or any social media accounts, so that removes me from "the new media;" I'm really not interested in it. I never missed an episode …
Sounds good to me. I'm an old fart and prefer what I like to watch delivered to me on the DVR. I can skip the commercials with ease, and I don't have to hunt for it on the web. I don't have a notsosmart phone or any social media accounts, so that removes me from "the new media;" I'm really not interested in it. I never missed an episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight (DVR'd) and had a Fox Nation subscription just so I could see his long-form interviews, which were fantastic.

Indeed so. And one can be like my husband who still only goes online at all from his desk. That tends to limit one. We even forget how good it is to have a “real time” audio conversation on the phone with a distant friend or relative. It almost seems as good as being there. Imagine that.
Your husband and I have similar attitudes; it's good to know I'm not alone.
I also prefer hearing my friends over the phone. I actually call them on my land line. I embrace a lot of the old technology and shun so-called "smart phones."
Back to the e-mail: I've been carrying on a conversation from a long-past substack article for over a year with a guy from the UK. He manages to put so much into his comments that it takes a great deal of time (and some research) to craft a response. I've made good friends online over the years, some who've actually stopped by my home on their journeys. I'd love it if my UK friend ever happened to be in the DFW area and visited. My wife thinks these long-term communications are like the pen-pals of yesteryear. She's right.
Yes, e-mails can wait, as I'm just finding time to reply to your comment after receiving a notice of yours. I drive my wife crazy when I tell her "I'll get to it" in reference to any non-emergent task she requests. And I do get to it, sometimes "eventually..."
